We went to the Husker vs New Mexico game on Saturday. Our first attendance of the year. It was a beautiful day/night for a game. Huskers played a good game even though they were playing against an "easy" team. But it was a good morale booster for them and it gave playing time to the third and fourth strings in the last quarter. Something I thought was cool, the Huskers have brought back praying in a huddle on the field after the game. Under the Callahan rule after a victory they would take of their helmets and chant with the band. This was a wonderful surrender. Not to mention they invited the opposing team to join them. At that point they were just football players taking a knee to pray. That was amazing!
In our times of the separation of church and state non contextual overboard, this was awesome! I pray that their efforts to include God in their endeavors continue and that an example is being set.
To my friends rooting for Mizzou...Ted says to watch out!

Fall Cleaning
Okay so the first day of fall is around the corner, but when your husband says lets clean, you take advantage of that time. However, he has Fridays off, so his thought was lets clean Friday when you get home from work...WRONG!!! Must I remind him that is my last day of work for the week and all I want to do is relax. So he cleaned mostly (remember his idea of cleaning is different than mine, as mine is logical). I was always taught to clean public areas first, then private areas (bedroom, game room, office, etc). Ted has a top/bottom approach, which means lets clean the office, bedroom and guestroom first. So I let him clean those areas of Friday, then yelled at him on Saturday for making the rest of the house more of a mess (it was also hot and humid in our house which I don't do well in). I think he understood my point and my upset as he demonstrated by closing all the windows, turning on the A/C, giving me a kiss, then going upstairs :) Nonetheless the house is clean!
Update
I haven't blogged in a while and unfortunately I don't have a cute excuse, just been busy. So what's happened in the last week or so... I am still loving my job, it is quite a surprise, but I guess when you finally listen to the Lord and follow through with his plans, people tend to be happier.
Ted's dad Robert went into the hospital last Sunday (9/7/08). He had been not feeling well for a couple days prior, with one visit to the ER in which they thought he was dehydrated. But on Sunday they were able to diagnose another problem, his gallbladder was no longer serving him well. So on Monday they went in to clean out his bile duct and on Tuesday the gallbladder said "Adios". He went through the surgery well. I know many people have said, "it's just the gallbladder". But with Bob's poor health, any time he goes under the knife we worry about the recovery from the anesthesia. He went home Friday. I think we will pay them a visit today.
Ted and I closed my "Private Practice" office on Friday (9/5/08). It was nice to close that phase of my professional career, but hard to realize I failed at that endeavor. Knowing that if I had more resources, I would have been more successful. But I can accept it didn't work out. I enjoy working for "the man" and getting benefits, paid sick leave, paid vacation and paid holidays. I didn't have those things in my own practice.
Saturday (9/6/08) we enjoyed watching the Husker game (well, not really, it was pathetic until the fourth quarter) at Buzzard Billy's with Ted's brother Mike (aka Butch) and wife Kelly. Then it was a family birthday party for Phyllis and Bob whose birthdays are 9/4 and 9/6. I won't mention the frustration that surrounded that gathering, lets just say these people don't plan, and I come from an event planning family.

SURVIVED!!
Well, we survived the first Husker football game, luckily they achieved success, which leaves me a much happier wife. We had a good time shopping for our husker gear Friday night. Ted settled on the Team hat and a basic red husker shirt. I opted for a red/white Herbie hat and a black Nebraska shirt. We didn't attend this game. I had no desire as it was a warm day and my sweet husband decided he would rather spend that time with me. So we went to the Embassy Suites in downtown Lincoln and enjoyed the festivities there. We couldn't believe the cost of the festivities ($10 plate of nachos!). We haven't sat down yet to budget and see how many games we are going to attend. My favorite games are the early fall games when it is cool enough to wear a long sleeve shirt but warm enough you don't need the heavy artillery.
I took Ted to Shogun's Restaurant in Lincoln. It is a Japanese Hibachi/Sushi restaurant (much like Kyoto's for you Salemites) and to Ted's wonderment he liked the food. I believe his response was "it tastes normal". He wasn't too keen on the California Roll, I didn't mind, more for me!
I have been enjoying this labor day weekend getting the house cleaned and went for a bike ride this morning. My knee is finally feeling better and thought biking would be gentle as it was.
Please be praying for Brian Nicklaus' sister Deanne's daughter, as she fell from the top bunk while at Brian's house on Saturday. She is in ICU as they have found some blood on her brain.
